About LinkBacksPeople make big deals out of them but I can't really seem to find out what it is, kinda a noob with the droid still and i DID use the search function on this forum before anyone ask and i used google but that just gave me links on roms... is it different OS types or something?

04-21-2010 09:55 PMYes, for the sake of this forum and it's applications, ROMs are simply Operating Systems. They are indeed stored on a form of Read-Only-Memory, but they are really no different than different versions of Windows or flavors of Linux. Originally Posted by Ameer

04-21-2010 11:04 PMYou'd be surprised how difficult it is to find a nice, clear answer like this. Google search for ROM - Read Only Memory. Really? Just like CD-ROM? Calling it an OS seems a lot more appropriate. Originally Posted by LtKen

04-22-2010 07:59 AMYeah, after all my years of studying computer engineering, I've never understood the need to make things more difficult than they really are. Everything in computing can be explained using simple math and analogies, yet the world is still inundated with confusing terms and ideas. It's very frustrating. Originally Posted by Mateles
